Important information for people of any weight who are waking multiple times a night to urinate. It might not be a urologic issue -- could be sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is underdiagnosed, dangerous and TREATABLE. Talk with your doctor about your symptoms so that together you can consider all of the possible causes and safeguard your health.

Nocturia (nighttime urination) is so prevalent in sleep apnea patients it has become a screening tool as significant as snoring. A research study showed that over 84% of patients with sleep apnea reported frequent nighttime urination while 82% acknowledged snoring.

Fascinating and hope-inspiring life lesson for the chronic dieters among us, as told by my wonderful and talented co-author, Karen R. Koenig. Thank you, Karen for sharing these important insights!

One of my clients made an amazing discovery I want to share with you. Her worries about food began as a child when her mother insisted that the family eat totally clean and she was forbidden to eat sweets and treats. When she wasn’t thinking about food—what she should and shouldn’t eat—she w...

Very interesting blog post from my friend and co-author, Karen R. Koenig on self-objectification. Awareness is the first step toward healing. Self-kindness is the second.

Self-objectification is common among people who turn up in my office. It involves internalizing “an observer’s perspective” about ourselves. More specifically, body self-objectification is an unhealthy way of viewing our bodies through the values of others or of society. “Self-objectificatio...

Here's my latest post. Skilled self-kindness is the first step to healing overeating.

In my experience, both as a person who struggled with overeating and chronic dieting for decades, and now as someone who helps others stop dieting and heal overeating, people who struggle with “weight problems” are often hard on themselves, and this is actually a driver of dysregulated overeatin...

I have many clients who struggle against food rules. Some are highly compliant in other ways—they wouldn’t jay-walk or cheat on their taxes—while others will push the limit in many life areas, seeing what they can “get away with.” Recently, while emailing with a “nice” girl client about her disdain…
